PRISM+ Nomad Ultra 16 Review
It appears that portable displays are getting more popular these days thanks to a variety of media that we can consume and the content-rich work that we are involved in on a daily basis. The PRISM+ Nomad Ultra 16 that I have at my disposal is actually a portable OLED display. Having said so, this OLED portable display sets it apart from ordinary portable LCD displays thanks to its amazing visual quality.
The PRISM+ Nomad Ultra 16 is built to meet all your essential requirements for a portable display. It will equip you with portability (of course), performance, and versatility. If you are on the go a lot (like me-digital nomad), you will appreciate this portable OLED display a lot. Let's have a look at its main features that will blow your mind.
Inside the Box of PRISM+ Nomad Ultra 16
Out of the box, you will get the the huge portable OLED display (of course). Then you will see 2 super premium-quality USB-C cables. There is also an equally high-grade HDMI cable for you to use. PRISM+ has also been generous enough to throw in an adapter in case you need to use it. For my case, just the USB-C cable alone is suffice for me to connect either my laptop or my smartphone to the Nomad Ultra 16 portable display. On the complimentary protective case-cum-kickstand is also in the box.
Top Main Features of PRISM+ Nomad Ultra 16
1. Huge 15.6-inch Display
My default laptop only has a display size of 13-inch which I am struggling with due to its relatively small screen size. That is why I am loving the huge 15.6-inch display of my PRISM+ Nomad Ultra 16. It provides me with large "screen real estate" for me to get my work done. In fact, thanks to the big display, I could get my work done even more quickly as I do not need to switch between tabs and windows all the time.
2. Ultraslim + Ultralight at 0.75kg
Despite its huge display, you would think that PRISM+ Nomad Ultra 16 will be quite heavyweight, right? Contrary to that popular belief, it is really featherweight, tipping the scale at a mere 0.75kg only. Let's look at its dimension, shall we?
The 15.6-inch display is encased in a form factor measuring 359mm in width and 229mm in height. This barely noticeable weight is further backed up by its ultraslim build with a thickness of only 8.2mm! So this portable OLED display from PRISM+ is not only light but also very slim.
3. Full HD OLED Panel
As I have aforementioned, the PRISM+ Nomad Ultra 16 is an OLED portable display. Get ready to feast on the visual brilliance of this Full HD OLED Panel. Vivid and accurate colours together with the truest blacks could be easily produced by the Full HD display. Yes! I enjoy watching my Netflix dramas and movies using this excellent display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080. You might not believe it, but it is better than my laptop screen!
Watching Wednesday's Iconic Dance Moves!
With a super wide viewing angle of 178°, rest assured that this marvelous viewing experience can be enjoyed by your family, friends, colleagues, and even potential clients. Yupe! Now presentations can be executed more effectively thanks to the wide viewing angle. There is no need to squeeze everyone in the middle anymore.
4. Enhanced Colour Reproduction
Thanks to its wide colour gamut, this portable OLED display from PRISM+ will be perfect for those whose work requires visual precision in terms of colours. In other words, graphic designers, video editors, and animators will appreciate this portable display.
On paper, the PRISM+ Nomad Ultra 16 boasts a wider spectrum of colors with the 150% sRGB. It supports a mind-boggling 1.07 billion colours which are utterly impressive. It is also equipped with a peak luminance of 400cd/m2, rendering images to be brighter and more lifelike. Throw in the 100000:1 contrast support and you will get the perfect portable OLED display for work and play!
5. Anti-glare and Blue Light Filter
Besides blasting our sight with an OLED display of vivid colours and remarkable brightness, the company has also gone the extra mile to protect our eyes. Yes! This is a portable display designed to provide ample protection for the eyes. I truly appreciate this anti-glare display with an integrated blue light filter. That is why I do not really feel any eye strain or even fatigue though I am using it for quite a number of hours daily.
6. Impressive Built-in Speakers
Frankly speaking, I was not expecting this portable display to have built-in speakers. After all, they are not the usual standalone "extra" monitors. So, it is a pleasant surprise when I discovered that PRISM+ Nomad Ultra 16 comes with built-in stereo speakers.
Thanks to the pair of 1.5-watt stereo speakers, you can now enjoy your videos and audio tracks on the go. It actually sounds way better than my laptop's very own muffled speakers if you ask me. So this is really a remarkable addition by PRISM+ to make their portable display even more versatile and usable in a myriad of situations.
7. Multiple Connectivity and Compatibility Options
True to its reputation, PRISM+ Nomad Ultra 16 is compatible with multiple devices be it your desktop computer, laptop, or even your smartphone. I am delighted that it connects to my laptop and smartphone effortlessly well.
This portable OLED display comes with both ports for USB Type-C as well as Mini HDMI. These two connectivity options allow the portable display to be plugged in and connected to virtually any device. No more looking for cables that are incompatible.
8. Ergonomic Sleeve Kickstand
Interestingly, this PRISM+ Nomad Ultra 16 comes with a built-in sleeve for your convenience. Besides serving as protection, the built-in sleeve can easily transform into an ergonomic kickstand. Voila! You can start enjoying a hands-free viewing experience at the perfect angle. So project presentations and drama binge-watching will be more enjoyable now!
VERDICT-Is PRISM+ Nomad Ultra 16 Good?
So is this PRISM+ Nomad Ultra 16 the ideal portable display for you? My answer is a resounding yes if you are looking for a portable display that is huge (15.6 inches), light (0.75kg), and slim (8.2mm). Since it is an OLED display, colours are extremely vivid and lifelike and the contrast is superb for better viewing clarity and enjoyment. The built-in speakers and ergonomic kickstand sleeve are definitely a bonus.
